Import data from Excel into existing board

If monday is going to replace using excel spreadsheets we need the ability to import data into an existing board and map the columns. It seems this can only be done for a new board and even then the amount of data and columns is restricted…

Hi Bluefoot,

Bit late on the response here. I remember reading this ages ago and just saw this app. It might be what you’re after if you are still looking.

Cheers,

Elliot.

My existing boards won’t import any new data. It says that it is and I go through all the steps but when it’s finished it just creates an empty group. I’ve tried multiple formats but I can’t figure out what’s going on. It worked before…

This app looks awesome. It would be great if Monday.com provided this functionality natively, as this (IMHO) is a common use case. Minimally, it would be great if Monday.com reviewed and approved this. I can’t get this approved in my organization to install it.

I want to add onto this thread; I’ve met with multiple vendors (Guests) who are helping manage different projects. Each vendor has a different platform (Smartsheets, Google Sheets, proprietary systems) to track progress; all of which can be exported into excel.

It would be extremely helpful for a client to be able to import changes from their system to Monday; regardless of platform, by using an Excel file.

I’m surprised that this isn’t a native feature; as Monday offers so many options for integration.

Hi @AJimenez - Welcome to the community! If there is a strong enough business need, you may want to consider setting up Integromat for your vendors. Integromat has options to monitor Office 365 and Google Sheets for changes, and then you could have Integromat handle the update on the monday side.

Would love to chat with you more about your use case. You can schedule a time here: Book a call with Polished Geek: Do more with monday․com
